Witch's House

I'm digging back into stuff that I worked on over the past few months.  Being laid up with a busted leg really limits what I'm able to do.  Just standing and trying to do something is a challenge as I balance on my one good leg.
This is a shot of one of the most photographed old houses in Saskatchewan.  It is very well known in photographic circles and is referred to by many as the Witches House.  There is no suggestion that anything sinister has ever taken place here, it is just the look of the place that prompted the name.  It is popular with photographers for spooky Halloween photos.
I shot this on June 16th of 2024, at about 6:00 in the evening, when Chris and I were touring southern Saskatchewan.  This was a 4" x 5" sheet of Ilford FP4+ given normal development in Perceptol Developer, 1:1.  I ran this batch on my new Jobo CPP3 Processor on November 15th.  Development was for 11:15 minutes at 24C.  The shot was taken with my Ebony view camera and a Schneider 135mm lens.
